About us

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is an Inner London borough in south-east London, England. Taking its name from the historic town of Greenwich, the London Borough of Greenwich was formed in 1965 by the amalgamation of the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich with part of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich to the east.

Our vision and values

We are committed to promoting equality, and the quality of life for all our citizens.

As our plans for urban regeneration and economic revival come to fruition, our overriding priority is to ensure that all residents and communities within the borough are able

Our vision for the borough is strongly aligned to visions set out in the Greenwich Strategy.
